I think it's technically a novella, and this is not just, in my opinion, the best thing that she's ever written, but one of the best horror stories I've read in a long, long time.
All the best horror novels are gay. Here's why.
Camp Damascus is probably my favorite horror novel of all time. I love this book.
Now, I've read Manhunt and I've read Cuckoo, and both are good books with shortcomings, in my opinion.
Exquisite Corpses remains as shocking and subversive as it must have done in the '90s. It's It's amazing, but, like a lot of the books here, it is not for the faint of heart.
I really felt so transported by just the way that she writes. It is electric, and I really recommend this book just for the quality and experimental nature of the writing. It's it's stunning and gorgeous.
His horror novels are special. Camp Damascus is probably my favorite horror novel of all time. I love this book. And Lucky Day is something very, very different.
I'm going to stop waving my book around now and put it down, but I do recommend that you pick up a copy.
Now, I've read Manhunt and I've read Cuckoo, and both are good books with shortcomings, in my opinion.
The Needfire is wonderful queer gothic horror. If you have not read this, it's it's wonderful. Check it out.
For example, one of my favorite horror novels, Tell Me I'm Worthless by Alison Rumfitt, isn't just a novel about transphobia, it's also a novel about British mythology, about the legacy of British colonialism and narratives that lead to things like homophobia and transphobia, all presented through the lens of a Shirley Jackson-esque haunted house story that is incredibly original, incredibly thought-provoking.
So it's a really great triangle dynamic between these three characters, who all judge each other and hate each other or don't even know the others exist, whatever. These dynamic perspectives are so much fun.
It had an enormous effect on me. Eric is one of my big inspirations. I love everything that they write.
Because this is probably the most frightening and unsettling thing that I've ever read from them, and I've read, I think, everything that Eric LaRocca has ever published.
It's in It's incredible, but it is sickeningly violent and unsettling. It is not an easy read, but if you have the stomach for it, it is one of the great horror novels of our time. I really mean that.
